Hi All, I have developed a mulithreaded app where in I look for notification changes of printer using FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification() and FindNextPrinterChangeNotification(). In FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification() I am passing PRINTER_CHANGE_PRINTER as condition to monitor. As per MSDN when printer is deleted from system I am getting PRINTER_CHANGE_DELETE_PRINTER notification. However when a printer is newly configured to system I am mot getting PRINTER_CHANGE_ADD_PRINTER notification. Please suggest. It is urgent. Thanks in advance. Ajay

You can set one or More of the following specific flags: PRINTER_CHANGE_ADD_PRINTER PRINTER_CHANGE_DELETE_PRINTER PRINTER_CHANGE_FAILED_CONNECTION_PRINTER http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536031.aspx Kellie.
Thanks Kellie for the reply, If we use PRINTER_CHANGE_PRINTER general flag, it shall give all PRINTER_CHANGE_ADD_PRINTER PRINTER_CHANGE_SET_PRINTER PRINTER_CHANGE_DELETE_PRINTER PRINTER_CHANGE_FAILED_CONNECTION_PRINTER notifications. For this reason only i am able to get PRINTER_CHANGE_DELETE_PRINTER notification, though i have set PRINTER_CHANGE_PRINTER flag. However for my wonder PRINTER_CHANGE_ADD_PRINTER notification is not coming. Please suggest.
